Aria Lito Mansion
in Thira , Santorini
- Converted mansion
- Central yet peaceful location
- Spacious, elegantly furnished rooms
“A stylish retreat set in the heart of the capital, the Aria Lito is in a class of its own”
The Aria Lito is a Cycladic mansion built in the mid-1900s and is set in the old quarter of Santorini’s capital. Which means winding cobbled streets, hemmed with bars, shops and restaurants, are right on the doorstep.
Inside, elegant décor and refined living set the tone. In fact, from the moment you walk up the whitewashed steps, you know you’re in for something special. And although it’s traditional, a makeover has given it a 21st-century zip. Take the 15 bedrooms, each with their own unique design. Some have dark wood furniture, hand-painted ceilings and tiled floors, while others come with modern furnishings, contemporary sofas and crisp white walls. Whichever you go for, though, all are spacious and come with a private veranda, a bathtub or whirlpool bath, bathrobes and slippers.
The distinguished style doesn’t end with the hallways and room interiors. Your Continental breakfast is brought either to your room or your terrace at the press of a button, and there’s a light menu available throughout the day. You’re also invited to wine tasting evenings in the Aria Lito’s own cellar where Santorinian, Greek and international bottles will be uncorked for you to try. One of the hotel’s many assets is the small, serene pool, which is bordered by a smart terrace with cushioned sun loungers.

Your guide to Thira, Santorini
“Clinging to the rim of an extinct volcano, with multi-hued cliffs plunging hundreds of feet into the sea filled crater below – holiday spots don’t come much more dramatic than Thira.”
Choose your table early in the evening, pour yourself a glass of chilled, local white wine, and prepare for a treat. The sunset in Thira is one of the most memorable light shows anywhere in the world. Restaurant terraces cascade over the edge of the caldera, all vying for the best view, and from most you can make out the shape of the ancient volcano, which sank under the sea in possibly the largest volcanic eruption the world has ever seen. In the centre of the sea filled caldera, you can see two small islands where craters still smoulder and mud springs still bubble. Once you have taken in the view, you can turn your attention to the food, which may vary from pizzas and pasta to local tomato keftas and dips, to fine Mediterranean dining. Linger late enough to see the sky turn orange and after your meal head into town for a night on the tiles. By day, the whitewashed lanes are busy with shoppers browsing in Santorini’s jewellery stores. You’ll also find lots of trendy boutiques selling designer names at designer prices – you may need to stop at one of the sun drenched cafés to recover after a purchase. And, if you’d like to find out about the history of this extraordinary island, visit the Megaron Gyzi Museum which has photos of Thira before and after the huge 1956 earthquake. Two other small museums go further back in time, with finds from the archaeological site at Akrotiri, and ancient Cycladic art.
